Success of the drying test : the first outgoing sludge from Valoris™

Soon a little conveyor will be installed under the dried-sludge extractor. This little conveyor will join the principal one which will serve the two drying systems. Eventually the dried-powder moved by the principal conveyor will be associated to another one to raise the sludge directly in the container.

First mechanical validation of the Valoris™ process running !

Two weeks ago, a few quantity of digested sludge supernatant’s at 0.5% solid-content was processing by the Valoris™ system.

Supernatant at 0.5% of solid content

The entering matter was too liquid, so we couldn't continue the treatment. However the first dried-powder has been obtained and that prove that the valoris system has a large scale for incoming matter.

Dried-powder outcoming of the Valoris™  process

Performance aside, this first test has permitted to confirm the functionality of the Valoris™ process in a mechanical point of view.
The drying discs have well worked apart small jolts which have been observed. But this phenomenon was due to the liquidity of the matter. In case of Edmonton, the Valoris™ system is supposed to treat incoming sludge at 10% of dried-matter.
